The best electric grills are compact and portable, can evenly cook steaks, and will last a long while. Of course, there are other things to keep in mind when looking for a great electric grill. The materials used in its construction, design, whether it has a lid or not, and the ease of cleaning are all relevant and could make or break an electric grill.

With that in mind, in this article we’ll review seven electric grills that caught our eye due to various factors including price, portability, usability, and overall quality.
